    Hi Gotham, at 1:21 you state that "There are more chess positions possible [...] than there are atoms in the universe" which is unfortunately incorrect. There are more chess games possible than atoms in the universe, but the number of possible legal chess positions is closer to the number of atoms on earth (specifically the current lowest upper bound is about 10^48)

      Having had to study the mathematical notation he invented, I can't say I'm particularly surprised. I wouldn't be surprised at any of his moves, though I would also assume that Einstein studied chess for longer, and probably did play.
      You know who would kick all of their ass at chess out of the physicists of that day? John von Neumann. If von Neumann had studied chess instead of mathematics, he'd probably be the greatest of all time by a wide margin.

      It hung around well after the Norman invasion and into early or mid modern English, in fact. Closer to the 17th century (which is why it survived to make its way into English standardization that persists today). Kuh'night, Kuh'nife-wacky language, this is.

      No. Checkmating 10 000 opponents is not as significant if the quality of play of the opponents is significantly lower. Magnus Carlsen has the record he has against people who, on their own right, are far better than almost any player of the 20th century, with few exceptions. This is what makes Carlsen such a great player.

    Would you be interested in doing a vid on the games of Marcel Duchamp?
    He's most notably the conceptual artist who made Fountain, the readymade sculpture that's just a urinal on a plinth.
    But he was also an accomplished amateur chess player. He was a French delegate to FIDE, he wrote a book on endgame theory, and he played the US Champion Frank Marshall to a draw in 1930.

      @anonymustarrasque3550 9 місяців тому +1

      @@Thiago.Acquati That doesn't necessarily mean it actually happened. All it means is that Levy didn't invent the game (which I already knew) and that if it is fake, then the lie - though it may well be real and not a lie - was created long ago. I mean, throughout history you see tons of people invent ridiculous lies. Just look at the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 as a perfect example.

    • @AutPen38
      @AutPen38 5 місяців тому

      It's most likely not legit. The moves were listed in a book in the 1950s, but even the author of that said he had no proof the game actually had these exact moves. Later books and videos copied from the first publication, but neglected to mention the original author's doubts. As time moves on, lies, hearsay, mistranslations, and mistakes become "accepted truths", and whatever really happened gets lost. See also: The Bible, or any history book that describes something that happened two hundred years ago. It's basically all made up.

    quick fact ceck :
    How many chess positions are possible?
    It is estimated there are between 10^111 and 10^123 positions (including illegal moves) in Chess. (If you rule out illegal moves that number drops dramatically to 10^40 moves.
    it is estimated that there may be 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the known universe.
    so unless you count illegal moves, the universe is still winning. doesnt change what you're trying to say though, theres a crazy amount of possible chess positions
